The past few days i feel like i've been living in between worlds. living for the first time in the present - caught between the past and the future. living in between light, the real world, the bright sunlight and the darkness in a strange shadowy twilight.

The last couple of days have been so bright, incongruously so, that when i open my eyes, i stagger a bit, semi blinded, semi asleep, caught again in between two worlds.

i've become comfortable in this grey. close enough to touch the past. quiet enough to rest my head, rest my weary head and heart. where the jarring brightness of the day shines through in muted colours and muted voices and sounds that don't seem like they belong in my world, in my twilight.

so i wander the land in between, away from the senseless noise, away from the rat race of life. but i realise that the brightness calls back for me and my friend i cannot see pushes me away, back to the light.

It's painfully bright this light. I squint my eyes against it, watch the beams stream through my fingers, held up in a futile attempt to recreate my twilight. the noise assaults me, i'm so used to the quiet, muted streams of sounds, the music i hear in the silence.

i know i must. but give me a little time, let me stay near you a little while more and i promise, soon.
